Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you structure and test a prompt to get consistent output from a language model?
  2. How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
  3. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  4. What's a project where you used Copilot hands-on?
  5. Walk me through how you've used LangChain in your day-to-day work.

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: Prompt engineering, RAG, AI agents, Copilot, and LangChain. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
